The real question is does the current method cause any problems? Whenthis was discussed a few months ago the answer was "no". So why worryabout 1 part in a million error? Engineering is all about tolerances.

We do have some problems with rounding and 45-degree lines, but I'm notconvinced metric units internally is a magic bullet for that.


Display of accurate coordinate in metric IS a problem though.
